Ficken in order to historically document the forest management practices of the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) on the 200,000-acre Quinault Indian Reservation in Washington State. The materials were compiled as evidence in the 1975 Helen Mitchell, et al., v. United States case filed by a group of Quinault Indians who alleged that, beginning in 1920, the BIA mismanaged forests on the Quinault Indian Reservation to the detriment of Native Americans. The Forest History Society generated the final report of Steen and Ficken, The Bureau of Indian Affairs and Forestry on the Quinalt Indian Reservation: A History (1977), for the Department of Justice
